Chapter 273: Visited Mrs. Qin and got a job
The next day, after Wei Xuan reported the matter of northern Chu to the official family, he asked people to send a message to the Qin Mansion, and the two then went to the Qin Mansion.
Let's say that Qin Yan was originally transferred from Shuzhou to Beijing, and after the martyrdom, Mrs. Qin's side had no intention of staying in Beijing, and she had already taught people to clean up and prepare to return to Shuzhou after this year, after all, relatives and friends were there.
When Chu Jianniang and Wei Xuan came, the Qin family was cleaned very clean, and a lot of servants were also distributed, leaving only a few old housekeepers and a few old servants and maids to serve.
When the old butler saw that the two of them had arrived, he hurriedly went inside alone to make a messenger, and invited them in.
In the main hall of the Qin family, the lady who looked thin in a navy blue Ruyi dark pattern jacket greeted people with the support of the maid, bowed slightly, and said, "I have seen the prime minister and the prime minister's wife." ”
Chu Jianniang is the first time to see Mrs. Qin, although this person looks kind and humble, but his face is extremely pale, and even a little depressed, perhaps due to changes in the family.
Wei Xuan also saw Mrs. Qin for the first time, although he had a lot of contacts with Qin Yan in the court before, and the two were also teachers and friends, but he had never been to Qin's mansion in private, and he had no time to come to the door.
Originally, I heard that Mrs. Qin was a blessed person, but now I saw it...... It's worrying.
"Mrs. Qin doesn't have to be polite, my husband and wife suddenly visited, and they also took the liberty to disturb it, and Mrs. Qin will take care of it." Wei Xuan said.
Mrs. Qin shook her head, "It's okay." I know that the master is here to see my lord, if it weren't for the lord, my lord might not know where he is, and the old man is grateful. Xiangye and his wife quickly sit down, now that the servants in the family have been distributed, they are not well served, and they hope that Xiangye and his wife will be treated more. ”
As he spoke, he asked the butler to serve him and served him with tea.
After a few people sat down, they exchanged a few words of greetings, mostly polite.
Afterwards, Wei Xuan said that he was going to burn incense for Lord Qin, so Mrs. Qin led them to the ancestral hall. Chu Jianniang and Wei Xuan lit a pillar of incense and bowed their heads.
Later, when they returned to the hall, several people talked for a while.
Qin Yan was martyred for the country, and the official family made rich condolences, and for the rest of his life, he was afraid that his home would be empty, and he would have better care in Beijing, but Mrs. Qin did not want to stay here.
At the end, when talking about Mrs. Qin's return to Shuzhou, Mrs. Qin turned her face with a hint of embarrassment, and her brows locked. Pian Yu said: "The old body has something to say, I want to talk to Mrs. Wei alone, I'm afraid I'm tired of the ......."
Wei Xuan understood, it just so happened that he also felt that it was not too early at this moment, and it was time to leave, so he didn't bother here, leaving Chu Jianniang to talk to Mrs. Qin, and he went out to the outer hall first to wait.
Let's say that the Qin family has few children, just two daughters, the eldest of whom married a second son in the Guogong Mansion two years ago; The youngest is seventeen years old, called Qin Rong, and has not yet married. said that she had a crush on a squire who had worked under her father.
To say that this squire is no one else, it is Fu Zhuoyi.
On that day, Mrs. Qin asked people to clean up and decide to go back to Shuzhou, Qin Rong suddenly got angry with Mrs. Qin, shouting that she would never go back to Shuzhou, and if she wanted to go back, she would let her mother go back by herself.
Mrs. Qin said that she was so old, since she had no good partner in Beijing, she couldn't stay, so she had to go back to Shuzhou and find a simple family background, be safe and stable, and live a down-to-earth life, what else do you want?
However, these words hit Qin Rong, and the mother and daughter had a big fight, and then Qin Rong came out of the tray, she had a favorite person in the capital, but that person didn't know her, and she didn't know how to meet him.
Mrs. Qin asked who that person was, and Qin Rong said straight that person was Fu Zhuoyi, the head of the household department.
After listening to Chu Jianniang's words, she remembered that Wei Xuan's brother seemed to be real, and he had always been single.
And after all, Fu Zhuoyi is at most one or two years younger than Wei Xuan, and now he is also standing, and he is not young, but just looking at his face, it is difficult for people to distinguish for a while.
Mrs. Qin sighed and said, "The only thing that the old body can't let go of now is the little girl in the family. If I don't know the girl's thoughts, I will go back to Shuzhou, and now I know that she has such thoughts, can she still stop her from being a mother? ”
"Not long ago, the old man also taught people to inquire about the Fu adult, and I heard that the adult is also a talented person who fights alone in the court, a talent, family background or something...... Although his parents and brothers are businessmen, they are also innocent and clean; The most unexpected thing for the old body is that this Fu Lord is also a classmate with the prime minister. The old man understands the prime minister's character, and if he can be a brother with the prime minister, he will definitely not go anywhere. ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Qin's eyes were sincere, she intuitively understood Chu Jianniang, and said earnestly: "Madame also knows that the little girl is at this age, and it is not good to delay it any longer, and now the old body has left Madame alone, and when it comes to this, there is also a reluctant request." I also hope that the prime minister's wife can be a matchmaker and help the little girl pull a string, which is also what I, as a mother, can do for her. If the little girl can marry her Ruyi Langjun with peace of mind, I will also be able to go back to Shuzhou to spend my old age with peace of mind. ”
When Chu Jianniang heard this, she didn't know how to answer for a while.
Chu Jianniang knew Zhuoyi's temperament, after all, they were all acquaintances, so she pulled the door and persuaded him a few words at the root of his ear, maybe she could still listen to it, but this girl of the Qin family ......
"Mrs. Prime Minister is worried about my little girl's appearance, behavior, and posture?" Mrs. Qin is sophisticated, and she can see Chu Jianniang at a glance.
Chu Jianniang put aside her embarrassment and smiled naturally: "Where, Miss Rong has a father like Lord Qin, and a gentle mother like Mrs. Qin, she must be a well-read lady......"
"The prime minister's wife said these polite words, the old man has also been a matchmaker, and they all know that this is a bridge with both sides, and they have to take a look at their faces, so that they can learn their manners and open their mouths. The old body knows that Fu Da is a talented person, and he looks like Pan An, and he taught me that he has to be matched with a woman in the city. ”
Mrs. Qin said, without waiting for Chu Jianniang to answer, beckoned to the maid on the side, and asked Qin Rong to come to the hall to meet the guests.
Chu Jianniang smiled, slightly embarrassed, and took a sip from the teacup to ease the discomfort.
For a moment, Chu Jianniang suddenly remembered that when she was in Longshan Village before, the Liu family had also asked her to help Jiang Yu pull the line for Fu Zhuoyi. Secretly, this thing is going around!
Not long after, in the rear, a small step like a lotus flower-like warmth came over to hire a pure girl who hired Tingting; The girl is dressed in a small velvet jacket with autumn fragrance, decorated with dark embroidered plums, and her skin is white and tender, and her facial features are soft and soft.
Chu Jianniang looked at the past at first glance, but she was a stunning and delicate girl.
However, although this girl looks delicate, Zhou is up and down the meaning of a book from the store. But the more a woman is a scholar, the more she has a pride that she does not want to be fixed by the world. This is also why this girl took a fancy to Fu Zhuoyi, and thought of a way to get acquainted with the person she fancied.
"I've seen the Prime Minister's wife." Qin Rong blessed Chu Jianniang.
Chu Jianniang said that she was not polite, and then asked her to sit down together.
Mrs. Qin said: "The old man boasts that the little girl is one of the best in appearance and character, but when she is old, she is delayed, and many families have seen it, but everyone has their own thoughts and thoughts, even if they are mothers, they can't control it." After all, this can be regarded as the wish of this girl, the girl is not good at giving up her face, so she will give up her face by the old body, and I hope that Mrs. can be a matchmaker for the little girl. ”
Mrs. Qin said earnestly, Qin Rong made a shy face beside her, and tightened the handkerchief in her hand to press the uneasiness and joy in her heart.
What kind of person is from the family, what kind of rules, Chu Jianniang and the girl of the Qin family are of good character, but they don't dare to guarantee it completely.
It's good to set up a line with someone, but if it's not good, I'm afraid that several parties will not communicate again. This is not as good as the previous time for Aunt Jiang Yu.
"Mrs. Qin's words are serious." Chu Jianniang said: "Master Fu and I are really familiar with each other, and it is a matter of one sentence whether to match the line or not." Since Mrs. Qin has spoken, I will introduce Mrs. from the middle, but in the end, it depends on Lord Fu...... The fate of the two girls with Rong is gone. ”
"It's nature." Mrs. Qin responded, "There are many things, and the old body doesn't dare to tell Mrs. how to be busy, whether it is successful or not, but Mrs. Dao has helped, it depends on whether Old Man Yue is willing to tie them up." ”
"Yes, that's true." Chu Jianniang also responded.
Mrs. Qin said something, her eyes slanted to Qin Rong on the side, and she sighed secretly, she, a mother, can only do this for her.
Qin Rong lowered her head with a look of shame.
Chu Jianniang never expected that she had just come to visit her, but at the end she received a job......
After sitting for a while, Chu Jianniang said that the time was not early, and she left. Coming out of the Qin Mansion, Chu Jianniang got into the carriage back to the mansion, and after Wei Xuan came up, Chu Jianniang looked at Wei Xuan with straight eyes.
"Your brother has never married a wife until now, but the little girl who taught Lord Qin has taken a fancy to it, and she has been in it for so long, so she asked me to be a matchmaker!"
Wei Xuan looked surprised, "Really?" That's very good, Lord Qin's two daughters are quite talented, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are exquisite, and their appearance is also outstanding, the eldest daughter went to the Guogong Mansion, if this little one is said to Zhuo Yi, it is also a good match. ”
Chu Jianniang was suspicious, "How do you know so well?" Do you even know what you look like? ”
Hearing this, Wei Xuan was stunned, paused for a moment, and said calmly: "When I worked with Lord Qin before, someone also mentioned it in my ears, so I knew a thing or two. ”
Wei Xuan would never say that when he was in the Hanlin Academy before, Han Xing and Master Han had intended to connect him with Lord Qin's eldest daughter, but later after knowing that he had married a wife, the matter was over.
"Really?" Chu Jianniang leaned in front of the man and smelled a strange smell from his face.
Wei Xuan poked his eyes down, looked at the curious woman, and nodded admittedly, "Yes." ”
Chu Jianniang didn't believe it, and still stared at it.
The carriage chose its time slot, and suddenly it was unstable, and Chu Jianniang rushed into Wei Xuan's arms with the bumps.
Wei Xuan bent the woman into the crook of his arm, hugged her on his lap, kissed her on the mouth, and then said shamelessly: "Oops! Don't be so reckless and direct, this is in the carriage, and the husband is very shy. ”
Chu Jianniang: "......"
I bit him on the neck.
